EngAGE provides Lifelong Learning programs on many topics at our communities. Recent programming at The Piedmont Senior Apartments has been particularly robust thanks to the partnerships developed by Program Director Arnold with organizations such as Americorps Seniors, Dialogue Society, LA Works, and SCAN-Independence at Home.
For example, this year, Independence at Home has offered classes on starting the new year with a plan for good health; creating a gratitude practice, which included meditation techniques and haiku writing; how to get a good night’s sleep without medication; the benefits of drinking water; information about diabetes; how to dispose of medications safely; music appreciation, including a discussion of music as identity; and a “social cookbook” class that gathered family recipes and the stories behind them. We thank Georgina for her excellent presentations on these topics. The residents were delighted to be both informed and entertained!
